This week on Barrel to Bottle, check out five Beaujolais from the 2020 vintage that prove it's a great summer wine.

Cap off your Mardi Gras celebrations with this cocktail homage to the King Cake, a carnival tradition around the world. This confetti covered version is a riff on the New Orleans King Cake, plastic baby not included.

Let the good times roll and shake up this recipe for a Ramos Gin Fizz, one of New Orleans most well-known cocktails. It's perfect for your Mardi Gras celebration.

Head to Beaujolais with the Binny's wine team as Alicia and Chris take you on a journey through the region.

Beaujolais is fresh, fruity, and festive. Beaujolais is an every night delight, priced right. Beaujolais is gravitas and a true expression of terroir. Beaujolais is conviviality; the tie that binds friends, old and new. Beaujolais is family, food, and fun. Most of all, Beaujolais is for sharing, on your best days and every day. 

This Mardi Gras favorite is one of America's first cocktail gems. Many party goers have enjoyed the Sazerac since the early 1800's. Whether you pour rye whiskey or cognac, you can't go wrong.

Thirsty for a New Orleans classic? How about one that’s named in honor of the French Quarter – the Vieux Carré. You can think of it as an “improved Manhattan”.

Join Binny's Wine Educator Alicia B. and Binny's own Guru of the Grape Chris S. for an informative look at this special region!

Travel with us for a few minutes to Beaujolais. Settled in the rolling hills just south of Burgundy, it’s a region immensely appreciated by a few (mostly those who work in wine) and undiscovered (or misunderstood) by many.

Mardi Gras is right around the corner. Are you ready to celebrate? Looking for something to serve besides Abita beer? How about the official cocktail of New Orleans – The Sazerac.
